Title: Saturday SongArtist: MustardAlbum (2002): Mustard II Unnamed Unfinished AlbumSubmitted By: annieTUFFComments: Ya know, August is a weird month. It’s still very much summer. School starts back (in my area anyway), and towards the end of the month you can start to feel fall creeping up on you. Transitional I suppose. Anyway. This song is about Saturdays, but I can kinda relate it to summer as a whole. Mustard is a great Knoxville band from the 90′s. Various members are still out there making music everyday, check them out via the ol’ facebook for musical shenanigans and links to current musical projects. http://www.facebook.com/tastethemustardmustard

Title: Turn You Inside-OutArtist: REMAlbum (1988): GreenSubmitted By: @philnormanComments: What I choose not to do.

Title: Love U ForeverArtist: Jenny LewisAlbum (2014): The VoyagerSubmitted By: hoosier buddyComments: This song would be a guilty pleasure, if only I still experienced that feeling. Instead I find it easy to like this song the same way I liked making out with strangers when I was a working musician. It was never about forever. It was always about feeling something right now, even if it was “the feeling of hell in a hallway.”

Title: Month Of Bad HabitsArtist: Andrew CombsAlbum (2014): unreleasedSubmitted By: Bryan Childs (ninebullets.net)Comments: A demo track of an amazing song that will (hopefully) be on his next album.

Title: My DadArtist: Paul WesterbergAlbum (2004): FolkerSubmitted By: @BoogieStudio22Comments: After a year of declining health, at age 84, my dad passed away on July 22, 2014. I got to help my dad and mom quite a bit this year and was happy to do it. I hadn’t listened to this song in ages, but it popped up on random play last week. So long dad…

Title: Here Comes A RegularArtist: The ReplacementsAlbum (1985): TimSubmitted By: Mad Mackerel Music BlogComments: Another belated discovery, this time of the sheer genius of The Replacement’s 1985 release Tim, and so we have chosen possibly one of the finest album closers you could ever wish to hear for FBFY. Here Comes A Regular is an unflinching, twitchy confessional – the perfect misfits hymn of alienation.

Title: “Road To Nowhere”Artist: Talking HeadsAlbum (2004): “The Best Of Talking Heads”Submitted By: GorrckComments: Been all over Scotland this summer — traveling somewhere every weekend. One two week trip to the continent that completely depleted the bank account. The original scope of my project here has changed daily. Seems like a fitting song for this summer.

Title: Time Is Not Your OwnArtist: Solomon GrundyAlbum (1990) Solomon GrundySubmitted By: toomuchcountryComments: Reached into the dark corners of my collection to retrieve this one. Didn’t listen to it much after buying it. Never read a review on the album and have no clue what happened to the band. I bought the CD simply because the band’s name was the same as a Sesame Street character I remembered as a kid.

Title: Tryin’ to Get to HeavenArtist: Bob DylanArlbum (1997): Time Out of MindSubmitted By: Rockstar AimzComments: Been on a Dylan bender the last few days. Cued up my 32 hours, 49 minutes, and 47 seconds of mp3 Bob, and after a few hours this song jumped out at me and kicked my ass.
